[uml-user] whitebox install - installing via ssh

Hello,
I am referencing others' experiences here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=user-mode-linux-user&r=1&w=2
The install fires up an xterm on my local machine where I can get to
the point after I select an FTP server (which is a local FTP server),
it retrieves the product.img and netstg2.img files then gives this
generic error:
Unable to retrieve the install image.
I grabbed the initrd.img from the bootdisk.img and used this command line:
./linux mem=256M fakehd fake_ide ubd0=rootfs root=6201 ubd=3
ramdisk_size=16384 con=xterm eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.253
initrd=initrd.img
I pretty much used the default options when building the UML kernel.
Any ideas for me?
Thanks!
Terry
